Hi! Thanks for putting the info on Otto and Charles A. KRUSE. Does anyone know who Charles' parents were? My kinfolks are Hie and Wibkie THOLEN KRUSE who lived near Arenzville at Indian Creek. Was Indian Creek a town or just a community of houses? Hie and Wibkie's daughter Catherine "Katie" KRUSE married John Lea DYER who ran a general store in Arenzville, and they are my great grandparents. Thanks for any info.
